ABSTRACT
A longstanding collaboration between a modern languages department and local schools, Tutoring for Community Outreach is a semester-long course for undergraduate and MA students who engage with K-12 students and teachers of Chinese, ESL, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. Deepening their appreciation of their own and others’ language learning, they share expertise from diverse academic fields in a wide variety of activities, including final projects they develop in collaboration with community partners. This chapter shares examples of their work and how they begin to build a community of practice within the classroom on campus and move into the local community.
